The  Missionary  Meetin 


What  it  is,  and  How  to  Conduct  it. 


MISSIONARY  MEETING  is  the  place 


J~\  where  you  introduce  Joseph  to  his  breth¬ 
ren,  and  the  five  hundred  million  downtrod¬ 
den,  helpless,  hopeless,  loveless,  prayerless, 
soulless  women  of  heathen  lands  to  their  more 
favored  sisters.  These  Missionary  meetings 
are  the  reservoirs  from  which  our  boards  must 
draw,  in  order  to  water  the  heathen  world.  If 
these  meetings  are  dry,  empty,  unpalatable 
cups  instead  of  capacious  reservoirs  the  sup¬ 
ply  will  be  meager,  and  the  production  corres¬ 
pondingly  scanty.  Therefore  the  subject, 
“  The  Missionary  Meeting :  What  it  is,  and  How  to 
Conduct  it,”  is  most  appropriate  for  discussion. 

At  these  meetings  we  become  acquainted 
with  those  of  our  brothers  and  sisters  who 
have  not  counted  their  lives  dear,  that  they 
-might  extend  the  boundaries  of  the  Savior’s 
kingdom  ;  whose  blood  has  consecrated  the 
soil  of  every  land,  and  whose  names  are  writ¬ 
ten  in  letters  of  light  in  the  blue  heavens  of 


3 


every  Christian  denomination.  Here  we  learn 
to  love  those  who  first  scaled  the 

Almost  Inaccessible  Fastness  of  Paganism, 

and  toiled  on  in  the  midst  of  discourage¬ 
ments  and  untold  suffering  until  today  that 
gigantic  and  hoary  superstition  is  tottering  to 
its  fall.  And  here  we  come  into  deeper  sym¬ 
pathy  with  those  who,  through  self-denial  and 
heroic  purpose  and  sacrifice,  have  sought  to 
do  His  will,  and  have  carried  His  gospel  to 
the  nations  that  sit  in  darkness.  Familiarity 
with  these  noble  men  and  royal  women  will 
make  us  inheritors  of  their  .sublime  faith  and 
devotion.  The  contemplation  of  what  God 
has  wrought  through  them  will  kindle  in  our 
hearts  a  glowing  gratitude  and  a  larger  desire 
for  the  redemption  of  a  lost  race.  The  thought 
of  what  remains  to  be  done  will  increase  our 
dependence  upon  the  divine  spirit. 

And  it  is  here,  too,  we  learn  the  nature  of 
their  work;  that  it  has  to  do,  not  with  the 
relief  of  physical  need  and  suffering  alone, 
not  with  the  diffusion  of  knowledge,  not  vdth 
the  material  progress  of  society,  but  rather 
with  the  peace,  the  enlightenment,  the  re¬ 
demption  of  immortal  souls,  and  their  restor¬ 
ation  to  the  fellowship  and  image  of  God. 
That  their  work  is  more  than  sweet  charity, 
and  more  than  philanthrophy,  and  more  than 

4 


education  ;  that  it  is  salvation,  the  very  impar- 
tation  of  a  new  nature  and  a  new  and  eternal 
life,  the  very  Christ  life  incarnate  in  human 
souls  ;  and  that  the 

Great  Son,  of  God  Came  in  Person  to  Earth 

to  execute  heaven’s  purpose  of  mercy,  to  con¬ 
struct  by  those  spotless  and  bleeding  hands 
the  very  ark  of  life  for  a  perishing  world,  and 
to  place  in  the  hands  of  his  church  the  des¬ 
tiny  of  a  lost  and  ruined  humanity. 

And  in  these  missionary  meetings  are  we  not 
lifted  up  into  a  closer  fellowship  with  the  spirit 
of  the 

First  Great  Missionary 

who  came  “  to  seek  and  to  save  the  lost ;  ” 
who  came  “  not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to 
minister ;  ”  who,  ‘‘  though  he  was  rich  yet  for 
our  sakes  became  poor  that  we  through  his 
poverty  might  be  made  rich ;  ”  “  who,  being 
in  the  very  form  of  God,  counted  it  not  a 
prize  to  be  on  equality  with  God,  but  emptied 
himself,  taking  the  form  of  a  servant,  being 
made  in  the  likeness  of  men,  and  being  found 
in  fashion  as  a  man,  he  humbled  himself,  be¬ 
coming  obedient  unto  death,  even  the  death 
of  the  cross  ?  ” 

O  patient  Christ ! 

Did  once  thy  tender,  earnest  eyes 
Look  down  the  solemn  centuries 
And  see  the  smallness  of  our  lives ! 

5 


And  here  at  Christ’s  feet  we  learn  to  read 
our  duty,  and  here  duty  becomes  delight,  and 
obedience  possible,  and  sacrifice  changes  to 
privilege,  and  we  come  into  a  fuller  appre¬ 
ciation  of  his  almighty  and  far-reaching  grace, 
and  a  more  intense  and  unquenchable  long¬ 
ing  for  the  complete  coming  of  his  kingdom 
in  the  whole  earth.  Ah  !  yes,  it  is  here,  too, 
we  hear  the  voice  of  him  whom  we  love  most 
and  best,  whom  rightly  we  would  call  “  Master 
and  Lord,”  as  he  pleads  with  us  so  tenderly, 

“  Go,  Preach  My  Gospel  to  Every  Creature,” 

and  “  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me 
more  than  these,  then  feed  my  lambs,  feed 
my  sheep.”-  “  For,  if  ye  love  me,  ye  will  keep 
my  commandments,”  and  “Ye  are  my  friends 
if  ye  do  whatsoever  I  command  you,”  And 
right  here  battles  are  fought  more  terrible 
than  any  that  were  ever  waged  on  a  battle¬ 
field,  and  victories  are  won  that  will  go  down 
through  the  channels  of  human  life  and  will 
do  much  to  form  the  destiny  of  the  whole 
human  family;  for  it  is  here  at  Jesus’  feet, 
with  the  world  shut  out,  that  we  listen  with 
him  to  the  great  heart’s  cry  that  goes  up 
ceaselessly  from  this  lost  world  that  brought 
him  from  his  glorious  heaven  down  to  this 
sin-cursed  earth,  that  led  him,  step  by  step, 
from  Bethlehem’s  emptying  to  Calvary’s  cru- 

G 


cifixion  through  many  a  Gethsemane;  and 
here  by  his  own  spirit  possessed  and  inspired 
we  are  ready  to  sing  with  deepest  reality  and 
meaning  — 

When  I  survey  the  wondrous  cross 
On  which  the  Prince  of  Glory  died, 

My  richest  gain  I  count  but  loss 

And  pour  contempt  on  all  my  pride. 

Were  the  whole  realm  of  nature  mine, 

That  were  a  present  far  too  small; 

Love  so  amazing,  so  divine, 

Demands  my  heart,  my  life,  my  all. 

Therefore  we  esteem  it  a  privilege  to  follow 
him  anywhere  he  leads, —  in  darkest  Africa 
or  to  the  Ethiopia  of  our  own  land  ;  in  the 
jungles  of  India  or  among  the  peoples  of  our 
own  forests  ;  among  the  wild  savage  tribes 
of  Burma  or  to  the  cesspools  of  Chicago ; 
to  the  fellowship  of  our  persecuted  brothers 
and  sisters  in  Russia  in  the  face  of  impending 
doom  to  Siberian  exile,  or  with  him  we  can 
kneel  at  the  bedside  of  the  dying,  hopeless, 
soulless  women  of  China,  or  cross  some 
threshold  of  vice  and  suffering  in  the  slums 
of  our  cities;  yes,  anywhere  with  Jesus  we 
can  safely  go,  cheered  and  encouraged  by  his 
gracious  assurance, 

“  Lo,  I  am  with  You  all  the  Days.” 

Missionary  workers,  especially  will  He  be 
with  you,  and  under  the  touch  of  his  almighty 


spirit  plans  and  methods  will  spring  forth, 
whose  lapping  waves  of  spiritual  revival  and 
missionary  consecration  shall  not  fail  to  reach 
every  nook  and  corner  of  the  heathen  world. 

And  it  is  in  these  missionary  meetings  that 
we  are  brought  face  to  face  with  the  fact  that 
at  this  instant  two-thirds  of  the  human  family- 
are  yet  in  absolute  ignorance  of  both  Bible 
and  Christ,  and  that  two  millions  of  souls  for 
whom  Christ  died  have  each  month  gone  into 
a  dark  and  dread  eternity  without  ever  having 
heard  of  the  Lamb  of  God  who  taketh  away 
the  sin  of  the  world.  In  the  face  of  these 
facts,  are  we  not  called  upon  to  prove  either 
that  God  has  called  us  to  stay  at  home  or  to 
give  ourselves,  our  all,  in  glad  surrender  to 
God  for  the  extension  of  the  Redeemer’s 
kingdom  among  these  lost  people  ?  Then 
where  can  we  find  a  service  so  important,  so 
helpful,  so  uplifting,  so  divine,  as  in  this  mis¬ 
sionary  meeting? 

A  WORD  ABOUT  THE  PROGRAM. 

The  preparation  of  the  program  should  be 
most  thorough  and  complete.  Let  the  leader 
of  the  meeting,  with  another  member  of  the 
committee,  arrange  and  be  responsible  for  the 
program, —  a  new  committee  for  each  meeting. 
These  two  may  call  in  every  member  of  the 

society  to  aid  in  its  execution.  I  do  believe 

8 


in  giving  every  person  something  to  do.  Sup¬ 
pose  you  have  twelve  or  fifteen  three-minute 
guns.  This  will  insure  increased  activity,  and 
this  is  the  secret  of  all  success  in  any  under¬ 
taking,  for  responsibility  awakens  interest. 

Bishop  Hall  once  said  :  “1  have  known  a 
man  to  come  from  a  funeral  in  high  spirits 
because  he  had  the  management  of  it.”  Be¬ 
sides,  the  diversity  of  gifts  and  variety  of 
exercises  at  the  monthly  missionary  meeting, 
the  new  treatment  of  familiar  subjects, —  the 
old  facts  in  new  dresses, —  cannot  fail  to  give 
a  vigor  and  life  to  the  meeting.  " 

SCRIPTURE  LESSON. 

The  Scripture  lesson,  or  Bible  reading, 
should  be  short  and  right  to  the  point.  The 
prayers  should  not  be  long ;  sentence  prayers 
are  more  desirable  and  profitable.  For  though 
I  believe  with  all  my  heart  in  the  efficacy  of 
prayer,  yet  I  think  that,  to  be  of  the  greatest 
value  here,  it  should  be  found  with  Christ  in 
the  closet  or  with  Jacob  under  the  stars.  v 

THE  nusic. 

We  do  not  make  enough  of  this  God-given 
gift  of  song;  we  need  the  inspiration  that 
comes  from  the  notes  of  God’s  battle-songs. 
The  soldiers  of  Gustavus  Adolphus  were 
accustomed  to  kneel  in  the  midst  of  an  en- 


9 


gagement  and  sing  Luther’s  hymn,  “  A  Mighty 
Fortress  is  our  God,”  then  up,  charge  the 
enemy,  and  win  the  victory.  We  workers  are 
in  the  midst  of  a  conflict ;  we  need  brave 
hearts  ;  therefore  let  us  sing  those  hymns  that 
will  so  strengthen  our  faith  as  to  lift  visibly 
before  us  the  sign  through  which  we  are  to 
conquer.  For  example : 

Crowns  and  thrones  may  perish, 

Kingdoms  rise  and  wane, 

But  the  church  of  Jesus 
Constant  shall  remain. 

Gates  of  Hell  can  never 
’Gainst  that  church  prevail, 

We  have  Christ’s  own  promise, 

And  that  cannot  fail. 

Onward,  Christian  soldier. 

Marching  as  to  war. 

With  the  cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before. 

MAPS  AND  CHARTS. 

To  give  definiteness  and  reality  to  our  study 
a  map  must  be  used.  Every  time  the  lesson  is 
about  China  there  should  be  a  map  of  that 
country  upon  the  wall,  where  every  person 
can  see  it,  with  the  names  of  the  mission 
stations  printed  so  large  that  they  can  be 
easily  read  by  everyone. 

Make  your  own  map.  Let  them  be  outline 
maps  and  leave  most  of  the  details  to  the 

imagination.  Purchase  several  yards  of  good 

10 


cotton  cloth,  fasten  on  a  smooth  wall,  and 
with  a  long  rule,  mark  the  lines  of  latitude 
and  longitude  so  as  to  form  large  squares, 
making  no  attempt  at  curved  lines,  and  then 
holding  a  small  map  before  you,  outline 
in  lead  pencil,  following  the  corresponding 
squares,  and  your  outline  will  be  easily 
sketched.  Then  take  any  common  house 
paint,  a  few  cents’  worth  of  each  color  used 
will  be  sufficient,  and  mixing  this  with  a  little 
powdered  glue  wet  with  gasoline,  with  a 
narrow  brush  follow  the  outline,  and  before 
you  know  it  your  map  will  be  made.  Then 
place  the  names  of  the  stations  and  write  the 
names  in  good  large  letters  that  can  be  seen 
the  distance  of  a  good-sized  room. 

Aside  from  your  home-made  map,  which 
will  be  of  the  very  greatest  possible  value  in 
fixing  in  memory  the  position  of  mission  sta¬ 
tions,  send  to  the  Missionary  Union  for  their 
splendid  map  of  the  Asiatic  Missions ;  price, 
$3.50.  For  the  latter,  address  Rev.  E.  F. 
Merriam,  Tremont  Temple,  Boston,  and  he 
will  forward  you  the  map,  giving  you  three 
months,  if  need  be,  in  which  to  make  pay¬ 
ments  for  the  same. 

ItNVlTATION  COnniTTEE. 

Let  two  members  of  the  society  issue  invi¬ 
tations  with  a  copy  of  the  program  to  every 

11 


member  of  the  congregation  the  week  previous 
to  the  meeting. 

nusic  conniTTEE. 

Two  others  to  have  charge  of  the  music 
after  the  leader  has  carefully  selected  what  is 
to  be  sung.  Never  sing  more  than  two  verses 
at  one  time,  and  please  do  away  with  all  pre¬ 
ludes,  interludes,  and  postludes  in  a  mission¬ 
ary  meeting  and  worship  God  in  song,  “  singing 
and  making  melody  in  your  hearts  unto  the 
Lord.” 

USHERS. 

Appoint  two  others  as  ushers,  who  shall  see 
that  the  room  is  well  ventilated  and  everything 
tastefully  arranged  and  that  side  and  back  seats 
are  sacredly  reserved  until  all  the  seats  nearest  the 
altar  are  filled. 

I  do  believe  that  the  physical  discomfort 
and  mental  depression  that  follow  an  hour’s 
sitting  in  an  uncomfortable,  distasteful  room 
to  be  one  reason  why  our  meetings  are 
shunned.  Therefore  arrange  your  room  as 
you  would  your  home  when  you  are  expecting 
to  entertain  most  honorable  guests.  For  have 
you  not  from  your  closet  sent  an  invitation  to 
the  King  of  Glory,  and  do  you  not  hold  in 
your  hand  his  gracious  answer,  “  Surely  I  will 
be  with  you  ?  ” 


12 


THE  OFFERING. 

Expect  and  endeavor  to  have  each  one  take 
a  heart  and  pocketbook  interest  in  the  treas¬ 
ury.  Let  your  giving  be  Systematic,  Proportion¬ 
ate,  Worshipful,  Heroic  and  Hilarious,  “  as  the  Lord 
has  prospered  you.”  Let  this  be  an  act  of 
worship.  Let  your  giving  be  heroic  in  sacri¬ 
fice  and  saturated  in  importunate  prevailing 
prayer  for  the  object  for  which  you  give. 
Plach  one  place  his  gift  each  week  in  the 
‘•Globe  Box”  or  “Stewardship  Envelope”  at 
his  own  home. 

“  We  are  not  sending  dollars  and  cents,  but 
we  are  sending  human  hearts  thrilled  through 
and  through  with  love  for  Jesus,  and  human 
hands  and  brains  consecrated  to  his  service. 
We  are  sending  Jesus,  and  that  means  eternal 
life.” 

THE  QUESTION  BOX. 

An  occasional  very  interesting  feature  of 
the  Missionary  meeting  is  the  question  box, 
which  will  arouse  deep  thought  and  earnest 
search  on  the  part  of  those  who  prepare  and 
those  who  answer  the  questions. 

PHOTOGRAPHS. 

Obtain  photographs  of  your  missionaries 
and  their  surroundings,  and  also  let  one  of 
your  number  write  to  some  missionary  each 

13 


month  asking  about  his  field,  its  needs,  and 
how  you  can  help  him.  Strive  to  have  each 
member  take  special  interest  in  your  workers 
abroad.  Be  sure  and  have  on  the  blackboard 
the  topic  for  that  day,  found  in  “  The  Prayer 
Cycle,”  and  spend  at  least  five  minutes  in 
each  meeting  in  special  prayer  for  the  work 
and  workers  indicated.  Make  a  chain  of 
prayer  that  will  go  over  the  cable  of  God’s 
throne  and  lift  fallen  humanity  back  to  the 
fellowship  and  image  of  God.  See  that  every 
person  who  takes  part  is  heard ;  speak  so  all 
shall  hear. 


HOW  TO  CONDUCT  IT. 

The  conduct  of  the  meeting  must  be  care¬ 
fully  attended  to.  The  plan  of  the  architect 
may  be  spoiled  by  the  builder,  and  the  love¬ 
liest  product  of  the  loom  may  be  ruined  by 
the  dressmaker ;  and  so  a  presiding  officer 
can  make  shipwreck  of  the  best  arranged  pro¬ 
gram.  Let  the  leader  of  the  meeting  begin 
on  the  minute ;  begin  if  there  is  not  another 
person  present, —  begin  with  God  for  an  audi¬ 
ence. 

Let  the  program  be  carried  out,  giving  to 
each  one  the  allotted  time  and  no  more.  If 
you  have  twelve  or  fifteen  three-minute  papers 
or  talks,  keep  them  within  their  time.  Inter¬ 
sperse  with  prayer  and  song.  Always  close 

14 


your  program  with  some  practical  application. 

For  example,  if  your  field  is  Swatow,  let  your 
last  paper  or  talk  be,  “  What  are  the  needs 
of  Swatow?  Can  we  supply  them  ?  Will  we 
supply  them  ?  ”  Then  sing  very  softly,  some 
appropriate  verses,  such  as  — 

Can  we  whose  souls  are  lighted 
By  wisdom  from  on  high, 

Can  we  to  men  benighted, 

The  lamp  of  life  deny? 

Salvation  !  oh,  salvation  ! 

The  joyful  song  proclaim, 

’Till  earth’s  remotest  nation 
Has  learned  Messiah’s  name  ! 

followed  by  silent  prayer,  the  offering  and 
benediction. 

But  I  hear  some  one  say,  “  This  means  work.” 
It  docs;  and  it  ought  to.  This  is  the  King’s 
business.  When  the  heavenly  vision  shone 
upon  you,  and  the  heavenly  voice  thrilled  your 
soul,  did  it  say,  “  Go  rest  in  my  vineyard  ?  ” 
Ah,  no  !  but  He  did  say,  “  Go  work  in  my  vine¬ 
yard.” 

When  Garibaldi  appealed  for  troops  to  set 
Italy  free,  the  young  men  asked,  “What  shall 
be  our  reward  ?  ”  “  Reward  ?”  replied  Gari¬ 

baldi,  “  privations,  wounds,  scars,  and  victory 
for  Italy.”  Christian  workers,  in  this  warfare 
for  the  evangelization  of  a  lost  world,  wounds 
and  privations,  work  and  sacrifice  must  come 


to  US  too ;  but  in  the  end,  under  the  leader¬ 
ship  of  the  great  Captain,  ours  also  shall  be 
the  glorious  victory.  “  For  the  knowledge  of 
the  Lord  shall  cover  the  earth  as  the  waters 
cover  the  channels  of  the  deep.” 

Oh,  then,  with  yonder  sacred  throng. 

We  at  His  feet  may  fall, 

We’ll  join  the  everlasting  song, 

And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all.

mittee  on  Missions ;  Its  Responsibility  and  Work.”

Read  Carefully. 


lyllSSIONARY  INTEREST,  if  it  shall  abide,  must 
be  intelligent  interest. 

The  library  to  be  of  real  value  must  contain  books, 
interesting,  instructive,  devotional,  and  books  giving  a 
careful  survey  of  people,  countries,  religions  and  a  his¬ 
tory  of  successful  Missionary  enterprise. 

The  Student  Missionary  Campaign  Library  does  all 
this  and  more.  It  contains  lectures,  biography,  conven¬ 
tion  reports,  history,  and  in  fact  everything  to  instruct 
and  interest  young  people  in  the  cause  of  the  world’s 
evangelization. 

The  library  has  been  carefully  selected  by  a  com¬ 
mittee  of  prominent  educators,  who  are  especially  well 
informed  as  to  Missions. 

It  contains  sixteen  of  the  very  best  Modern  Mis¬ 
sionary  books. 

It  will  be  uniform  in  size  and  binding. 

It  lists  at  twenty  dollars,  but  a  benevolent  business 
man  bought  the  sheets  from  the  publishers  and  by 
having  the  books  bound  himself  has  made  it  possibie 
for  us  to  furnish  them  for  the  remarkably  low  price  of 
ten  dollars.  Orders  should  be  sent  to  Miss  Ella  D. 
MacLaurin,  Tremont  Temple,  Boston,  Mass.,  and  in 
order  to  secure  the  library  at  the  above  price  it  should 
be  ordered  now. 

The  library  must  be  sold  entire,  and  in  no  case  will 
the  set  be  broken. 

Money  must  accompany  every  order,  and  must 
be  sent  by  Money  Order,  Registered  Letter  or  Draft  on 
New  York  or  Boston,  and  must  be  made  payable  to
